mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s standby time.

Tip: Watch your device’s battery level indicator and charge

the battery before it runs out of power.

Charging the Battery

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your device automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.

Always use a Sprint-approved or HTC-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Tip: You can recharge the pre-installed battery before it

becomes completely run down without harming the battery.

1. Plug the USB connector of the AC adapter into the

charger/accessory jack at the bottom of your device.

Device Basics

2. Plug the AC adapter in to an electrical outlet to

start charging the battery.

Charging is indicated by a solid amber light in the Notification LED.

After the battery has been fully charged, the Notification LED shows a solid green light and a full battery icon ( ) displays in the status bar of the Home screen.
